The Business Case for Horizon 7

Gather the Facts about Your Current Environment

Our desktop assessment tool helps you prepare for the move to Horizon desktops and applications. Once the assessment is complete, you can design an operational prototype, identify technology and skills gaps, and uncover risks.

Gather baseline performance data for your end-user environment. Identify the set of criteria that are important to your end users. Application launch times, log-in times and accessibility are important performance benchmarks to consider.

Understand your current environment, including the various components of technology infrastructure and the internal IT skillset necessary for project readiness.
